“I first started play playing football when I was four, and from the moment I put the football into my hands I knew this was what I wanted to do my whole life. I always thought football was a fun sport to play until I began to love it and it became a passion for me. Once I got the passion for the game it felt like I couldn’t live without it, [football] felt like second nature to me. And if it wasn’t for football I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I wouldn’t have met the friends that I’m still close to today, and I wouldn’t be able to be where I’m at now. My love for football just grew and it came to the point where I just felt like I couldn’t live without it, and I wouldn’t know what to do anymore if I couldn’t play it. Also I have a lot of people to prove wrong and that just motivates me to keep playing this game. Even when I was young, playing football on a higher level like college then hopefully into the NFL was always a dream of mine. I’ve always wanted to be one of those big time players that everyone enjoys and gets excited about when they see him playing on television.”

Davidson Domond, Staff Writer
Hi, my name is Davidson Domond, and this is my first year in journalism. I am a captain on the varsity football team and I've been playing for about 3 years. On my spare time I normally stay home and read a good book. My favorite book is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, because it's a very thrilling book with lots of suspense.
Skylar Cross, Photo Editor
I'm Skylar Cross and I'm a senior, here at Santaluces, enrolled in the Visual Arts Academy. This is my third year in newspaper as a Photo Editor. I'm a very positive and optimistic person who laughs a little too much. I'm on the Varsity Tennis team and have been playing for three years. I’m absolutely obsessed with movies, especially of the horror genre. I have a passion for film and aspire to one day be a director. Oh, and I drink a little too much coffee (if there's such a thing as "too much coffee").
